Why Do You Want to Stay Over Weight?
No, you didn't have a moment of dyslexia; I did ask the question "Why do you want to stay over weight?"...
not...
"Why do you want to lose weight?"You wonder why anyone who says they want to lose weight, would want to stay overweight.
For example, you've tried and tried in the past to lose weight, so isn't this a sign that you want to lose weight? But have you considered that you may have other hidden reasons that are more powerful to you, than the need to lose weight and become more healthy?It might not consciously be on the surface but deep down you may want to stay overweight for other hidden reasons, like...
oYou receive more attention from others because you're overweight and all this would go if you suddenly became thin? oHow would your friends react to a slimmer you? They may be in the same situation to you and are suffering from weight problems but what if you lost weight would you be afraid that you friendship may change in a bad way? oDoes your spouse or partner want to stay the way you are? And if your weight changed, would their love for you change? So, how do you work out your personal weight loss demons are? Take some time and picture how your life would change if suddenly you were at your perfect weight.
oNow what thoughts or feelings come up, happiness, sadness? oHow are others reacting to you now, friends, spouse, partner or family? oWhat are you losing out on, as well as gaining by losing weight? Is it less attention? You really need to get these out in the open and work on them; they have sound ridiculous and possibly childish in the cold light of day but these are possibly the things that are holding you back from your success.
You could pass on this simple idea but unless you find and uncover these demons they're always going to be there holding you in weight loss/weight gain limbo land.
